Maxine, the Dog of the Day
Name: Maxine
Age: Three years old
Gender: Female Breed: Black Labrador
Home: Phoenix, Arizona, USA
 
   My name is Max (short for Maxine). I am a very happy dog and believe that I rule the roost! I am spoiled as anyone can see: I have a special place on the couch that is all mine, my own comfy doggie bed in the master bedroom (but I can still get up on my parent's bed if I want), and plenty of treats throughout the day. Not only do my parents spoil me rotten, but my Nana does too. I have a companion, Bud, who is an 8 year old black lab mix. He lets me drive him crazy with my incessant need for play and doesn't complain about it too much. One of my favorite things to do is to "jack rabbit" around the house. Anyone who has a Lab will understand what this means! Basically, I run laps very fast and very low to the ground, occasionally using Mommy and Daddy's bed as a launch pad. It's too much fun and allows me to burn off my pent up energy. Recently, Mommy and Daddy brought home a human baby and I've been told that I am very good with her and sweet. But I can't wait until she can run around with me in the yard! Until then, I don't have a lot of use for her (but she if fun to lick when Mommy isn't looking and she always seems to drop pieces of saltines for Bud and me)-- okay I guess she's not too bad. And I know that Mommy and Daddy try to make sure that I still feel special since I was their first baby. I have a good life and am loved by many.
